Wish they'd offer a diesel in the smaller pickup.

Looks like Nissan and Cummins are considering a small diesel for the Frontier.

I'm very impressed. Really like the Intergrated gooseneck hitch. Does anybody else offer that?
I worked at the Canton plant for a while and we used the titans. It's a tough truck but it needed some improvements and changes. Happy to see better axles. I got my butt chewed by some supervisors for taking of one our titan work trucks through the test track with a pallet of quickcrete in the bed. I thought they should have used it for a commercial!!

Ram offers an integrated gooseneck hitch from the factory and I think ford does too but only on the 3/4 and up. Honestly I prefer the B&W flip over ball.

Ford has offered a factory GN and factory 5th wheel since 2010.

I think this truck was built to target the RV crowd. I don't see people in the RV world as dedicated to a specific brand as other groups tend to be. For them pulling MPG is pretty important. What's funny is that if this truck does well it'll most likely hurt itself since Toyota reportedly is thinking about using the same engine in the Tundra. So if Nissan sells a decent number I expect Toyota to go ahead next year.

Looks like the last generation Ford...

It sure does, but it is a good looking truck. If it is nice inside and drives like it looks, it should do fine. I have always thought that Nissan made good driving vehicles.

I think they did a nice job on the appearance. If I read it correctly though this is a "heavy duty" half ton so like diamond pilot said, a tow rating around 14k would make more sense since normal half tons now have a tow rating of 10-12k. Give it a year and they might make some adjustments.

I think all truck makers, and their ads, should show the EXACT tow rating for every vehicle produced, not some blanket "Ram can tow 30,000lbs" when that is only the 3500, std cab, long bed, with HO engine and tranny. If a commercial depicts a crew cab, then they should have to show THAT trucks tow rating, and NOT by some guy spitting out 300 words a second or in fine print in a 3 point font at the bottom of the screen.

It should be CLEARLY stated what pin/tongue weight can be added, period. This business of having to weigh every freaking part of the truck and trailer just to know what you REALLY have is all wrong. A label should be on every vehicle that is allowed to tow ANYTHING what the front, and rear axles weigh, and what is allowed after that. Then EVERY RV sold by a dealer should have similar pre-weighed stickers on it.

Beyond that if someone adds stuff to the truck or RV, one they take delivery, it's on them.

Their tow rating adds are as transparent as Washington.

laws governing what you can legally tow/what licensing you need vary state to state and vary based on usage.

Interesting video of some of the torture testing they are doing to the new Titan.
